At Al Bahri Dental and Orthodontic Center, we specialize in creating harmonious, balanced smiles with advanced gum lift and gum contouring procedures. Under the guidance of our Harvard-educated, double board-certified prosthodontist, we combine artistry and science to enhance your smile while improving oral health.
Gum Lift / Crown Lengthening
A procedure that removes excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This can improve smile aesthetics, allow proper placement of restorations like crowns, and address issues like gummy smiles.
Gum Contouring
Aesthetic reshaping of the gum line to create symmetry and balance for a more attractive smile.
Both procedures are minimally invasive and tailored to each patient’s anatomy.
Adjusting tooth positions can sometimes reduce a gummy smile
In select cases where excessive lip elevation is the cause
Only when crown lengthening is not strictly necessary for aesthetic or restorative purposes
Local anesthesia is typically used to ensure a pain-free experience. Sedation options such as nitrous oxide can be provided for anxious patients.
